Description

Making the Difference stands as a seminal work in education and Australian sociology since its first publication in 1982. This influential book examines the complex relationships between schools, families, and social division, offering critical insights into how educational systems reflect and shape broader social inequalities.

The work fundamentally changed how researchers approach education studies and practice, establishing new methodologies and frameworks for understanding the intersection of family structures, schooling, and social stratification. Whether you are an educator, sociologist, parent, or student of Australian society, this Routledge publication provides essential perspectives on enduring questions about equality, opportunity, and the role of education in shaping social outcomes.
